Active ingredients in G02C

Active Ingredient Description
Atosiban

Atosiban is a synthetic peptide which is a competitive antagonist of human oxytocin at receptor level. In human pre-term labour, atosiban at the recommended dosage antagonises uterine contractions and induces uterine quiescence.

Benzydamine

Benzydamine exerts an anti-inflammatory and analgesic action by stabilising the cellular membrane and inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.

Bromocriptine

Bromocriptine is an inhibitor of prolactin secretion and a stimulator of dopamine receptors. The areas of application of bromocriptine are divided into endocrinological and neurological indications.

Buphenine
Cabergoline

Cabergoline is a dopaminergic ergoline derivative endowed with a potent and long-lasting PRL-lowering activity.

Fezolinetant

Fezolinetant is a non-hormonal selective neurokinin 3 (NK3) receptor antagonist. It blocks neurokinin B (NKB) binding on the kisspeptin/neurokinin B/dynorphin (KNDy) neuron, which is postulated to restore the balance in KNDy neuronal activity in the thermoregulatory centre of the hypothalamus.

Flibanserin

Flibanserin is a multifunctional serotonin agonist and antagonist used for the treatment of premenopausal women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder. In vitro, flibanserin acts as an agonist on 5-HT1A receptors and an antagonist on 5-HT2A receptors. It also has moderate antagonist activities at the 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C, and dopamine D4 receptors.

Ibuprofen

Ibuprofen is a propionic acid derivative NSAID that has demonstrated its efficacy by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. In humans ibuprofen reduces inflammatory pain, swellings and fever. Furthermore, ibuprofen reversibly inhibits platelet aggregation.

Lisuride
Metergoline
Naproxen

Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic compound with antipyretic properties as has been demonstrated in classical animal test systems. Naproxen exhibits its anti-inflammatory effect even in adrenalectomised animals, indicating that its action is not mediated through the pituitary-adrenal axis.

Quinagolide

Quinagolide is a selective dopamine D2-receptor agonist not belonging to the chemical classes of ergot or ergoline compounds. Owing to its dopaminergic action, the drug exerts a strong inhibitory effect on the secretion of the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin, but does not reduce normal levels of other pituitary hormones.

Ritodrine
Terguride
